Bone scintigraphy is a valuable adjunct to cross-sectional imaging and can be used to evaluate disease extent in multifocal processes such as blastic osseous metastatic disease, provide diagnostic information to aid in problem solving in challenging cases, and serve as the primary diagnostic modality for diseases that manifest with pathognomonic scintigraphic appearances.

AbstractA 60-year-old woman with chronic pain in the left long finger, occasionally involving the ring finger and intermittently extending to the hand, wrist, and distal forearm, was referred for radiographs and a triple-phase technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy to evaluate for possible complex regional pain syndrome. Initial radiographs were normal. A three-phase bone scan revealed focal radiotracer uptake at the distal aspect of the long finger during the blood pool phase only, with normal blood flow and delayed phases, suggesting a hypervascular soft tissue tumor. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging showed a hypervascular nodule in the nail bed of the long finger. The lesion was surgically resected, and pathology results confirmed the diagnosis of a glomus tumor.
